I have been following and listening to MGK since his fordt music video "chip off the block". Hands down my all time favorite. Most of his songs have helped me over come battles that i have been fighting since i was a young teen. Ive gone through the addiction stages and have hurt myself and others. Right now im batteling a court case for custody of my only son. I work anywhere from 5-6 days a week sometimes 8 hours sometimes 12. My co workers and others that are around me like my "friends" are always bullying me. I work my ass off and do nothing but help out at work and helpy friends. Im always crying or getting blamed for things that are not my fault. For example, my job is to take care of individuals with dementia and there are things that we have to do that not a lot of people enjoy. I work with women all day long, and of course women like to cause drama and talk shit. But this is gone too far. I feel like everyday im crying and hurting myself or over doing it. I have bi polar disorder and PTSD plus im manic drpressive and hear voices and all that. Im always being blamed for the shit talking at work because of my mental disorder. My dream is to meet MGK and be able to vent and talk to someone whos been through a lot of what ive been through.

Mgk if you read this I want to tell you my story. I came from nothing just like you did and while I'm still a "kid" I'm still making it in life I got big dreams and I gotta work hard to fulfill them. But I know how you don't speak tp your dad or your mom and listen I don't speak to my mom. She became a junky after my dad left when I was seven started poping out kids making me raise them while her and my dad we're no where to be found. And at night when I rarely had me time I would sit in my room and listen to your songs and write and that's the only way I could cope with the pain (there was way more going on) but I memorized every word to almost everyone of your songs and it has just always been a dream of mine to meet you. You have helped me in so many ways and I just really wanted to thank you.

Idk what it is about mgk but his lyrics have true meaning and make me feel like I may actually have a place in this world. When I feel down I listen to his music and it's like it lifts me back up. Trying to get tickets for your next tour when you come to London. THANK YOU so much for making you music It really helps me believe in my self. Much love

Hey man listen, I am a huge fan. You're inspirational to me. I fell in love with your music with wild boy and then I dug deeper. The Return inspired me to finish a book I was writing and chip of the block amped me to write my action scenes. Anyways I want Colin Kaepernick on the Browns. He's a more skilled QB than Kizer and he deserves to be signed. You're the most famous celeb from Cleveland I could think of and I think your message will go further than mine.
C-L-E-V-E-L-A-N-Ds the greatest. Make it a movement.

I don't want to die. But I don't want to live. I know how to make myself happy. But I can't stop hating myself. I need love. Idk why I'm saying this to you. You're just the music that gets me through a lot. Idk how to get through this feeling. Maybe tonight

Mgk and eminem, in my mind, are the best rapper ever, and not because they are white. Whenever I hear either of their music, I feel free. Now even though I can't rap, they have inspired me to pursuemusic. Nobody knows but sometimes I will take Eminem music and mgk music and make new songs by combining them. It is my only wish to meet either one but to meet mgk, would be the best feeling in the world, my sister's introduced his songs to me, now he is my hero

If this ever gets to you I just wanna say I get it! You are the realist artist ive ever listened to and mind you im a new fan, but ive never felt so in tuned with music the way I have been with yours! Like you hear the different pain and passion in every song its like a split personality it just triggers and comes out, doesnt mean it defines you but keeps the flame going...if that makes sense! Definitely hooked! I hope one day I can meet you not only as an artist but as a person. by the way your eyes are just dazzling! You can tells much about a person looking in there eyes! #ohiolove Stay you Mgk! <3 if tou ever wanna reply Clairissa Raynes is my facebook crazy lady blue hair

I know that you (MGK) Will probably never see this but I just want you to know that you and your music have helped me in more ways than you'll ever know. I'm a few years older than you but I've lived through pretty much the same shit that you have. Listening to your music when it's a bad day, which is quite often, it helps me out in more ways than one. Just knowing that you've been through the same shit I have and that you made it out of the darkness, even though I'm sure you still have those rough days, it gives me some hope that maybe I can too. I wish I could say more but I'm not with putting my business out for the world to see but just know that I thank you and appreciate you being so honest with your music and everything you've been through. Wish I could tell you more but anyway keep doin your thing and know that you inspire and help people more than you will ever know. I'll keep you in my prayers and thanks for making music for people like myself homie! Keep it up man!!

Hey. I don’t know if you’ll EVER open this message. You probably get so many girls messaging you, saying stupid shit, like “OMG you’re daddy asf!” or “have my babies” but… I figured if you were to ever see this… It might mean something to you. I guess I’ll just start with my story. My biological father was abusive. He beat me black and blue, threw tools at my head… I don’t know, man. I guess I deserved it? He always told me I did. When I was ten, he told his best friend he could “have” me. I didn’t know what it meant. It meant that he could rape me. My “dad’s” best friend raped me. I finally told my mom about it. When I was 12, my parents split. I moved in with my mom. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen him. But that doesn’t stop me from crying at night. My left arm is marked up with scars, from when I tried killing myself. I spent 3 ½ months in the hospital. After 4 visits, they put me in residential. Then, the next year, I started smoking weed. My mom knew, she didn’t act like she cared. She knows about the weed. But not about the cigarettes, or the random pills. She doesn’t know how badly I’ve fucked up. She kicked me out July 16th. I moved in with my sister in law, and my brother Ryan. They grounded me for 5 months for an empty bag with weed residue. They called the cops and everything. I go to a small public school. I’ve dated one dude there, but he only wanted sex. I’m not a virgin, I’ve given consent before… but my first time was with a dude 6 years older than me. He was 19, I was 14. Man, I was so desperate to know how it feels, to lay with someone you WANTED, to have someone touch you and it feel GOOD… After that, I started sleeping with a lot of other people. I thought I was pregnant at one point. I’m 15. I turn 16 next year, July 6th. But the reason I’m still alive right now? Honestly, I’m not gonna say that cheesy ass shit where I say it’s your music. I don’t know why I’m alive right now. I guess it’s the hope that it will get better? But in all reality, I’m not sure if it will. I don’t even know why I’m writing to you right now. I guess it’s because you’re the person I admire most? You’re so… strong. You’ve been through so much. You’re an amazing person. I just wish I could be as strong. Thanks for everything. For giving me hope. I’m not sure I can tell you how long it will last, but still. Thank you for giving me strength. I love you. -Gina Marie

We actually come from the same town, I have been to many of your concerts just never had the money to get VIP passes well when you come to Iowa with Fallout boy im gonna be at that concert and im determined to get VIP passes, not for me but for a very special person.

I really love your style and everything your about. I have listened to your music since the very beginning. You could say I'm a hardcore fan. I would really love to meet you one day or at least get a signed autograph but meeting you would really make mine and my husband's day. He is also a hardcore fan. Get back to me. Lace up!

Hey man. You sit here and talk about how you hope your songs help someone get through hard times. Man I know life is hard and I deal with it one step at a time and you do help people get through hard times. Everyday I through on a song or hell even an album from you and it helps. It makes my day better I rap along and keep that vibe you throw out whether it be a music video or whatever and I just can feel it. I suffer from severe depression and anxiety but once I hear your songs I relax kick back and calm down. There are plenty of times I’ve almost ended it but you saved me. Whether you actually see this or not I just hope someone out there feels the way I do and can feel your music rush through them and help them make it through the day. One day I hope to see you live and maybe meet you but if that day never comes I hope you never stop. One day I hope to aspire to your level and maybe help someone else through they’re struggles. Love ya man much respect.

One of my biggest dreams in life is to meet you. Your very talented and gorgeous! I follow you on social media. Yeah I'm the girl who sends you messages on Instagram which you prob get alot. I love you! I'm from Pennsylvania and our birthdays are 4 days apart... same year 😘

Mgk's music has always inspired me to become a better person and has helped me through life TREMENDOUSLY! Its my last year of high school and honestly I'd love to end it off with Mgk going with me. I know it'll probably be impossible because of how much work he's doing. I would just like the oppurtunity! 😁
